Summary
9router versions from 0.4.1 through 0.5.99 are affected. The flaw is a code injection weakness (CWE-94) in the POST /api/cli-tools/hermes-settings endpoint, which fails to filter double quotes and newlines in baseUrl. An authenticated dashboard user can inject arbitrary keys into the Hermes Agent config.yaml file, adding a hooks.post_llm_call shell command that Hermes Agent runs without approval after an LLM call.

Description from the CNA
9router 0.4.1 through 0.5.99 contains a configuration injection vulnerability in the POST /api/cli-tools/hermes-settings endpoint that allows authenticated dashboard users to inject arbitrary keys into the Hermes Agent config.yaml file. Attackers can submit a baseUrl containing double quotes and newlines to add hooks_auto_accept and a hooks.post_llm_call shell command, which Hermes Agent executes without approval after an LLM call.
